Fcitx5 does not work for Konsole and LibreOffice

[LilyWhite]

The Simplified Chinese community is inactive so I post my questions here.

I have installed fcitx5 for Chinese pinyin input, it works great in Firefox and electron-based apps, but won’t work in LibreOffice or Konsole.

I suspect it’s a problem with the Qt configurations, so here is some relevant outputs:

Hi, from your shared link to Github:

Xim server name: “fcitx5” is different from that set in the environment variable: “fcitx”.

Found unknown fcitx qt module: /lib64/qt5/plugins/kcms/kcm_fcitx5.so . Found fcitx5 im module for qt5: /lib64/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/libfcitx5platforminputcontextplugin.so . Found fcitx5 qt5 module: /lib64/fcitx5/qt5/libfcitx-quickphrase-editor5.so . Cannot find fcitx5 input method module for Qt4.

First of all, I don’t know how you get ther report, but it show it’s need Qt4 version. Maybe you can search it with dnf search fcitx and you’ll find package like fcitx-qt4.x86_64. But I’m not sure if this the package you need to install.

But Konsole is definitely not an Qt4 app so I don’t think that’s the problem.

What interests me is the XIM stuff it complained about, but I did nothing other than running the configuration tools, so it’s weird.

I tried to installed it but in Gnome.

From keyboard layout viewer ( fcitx5-configtool.x86_64):

Then on Konsole I use ctr + spacebar to switch the input method:

I can change the language setting in profile but when I change the encoding, the menu jump to different place.

And then trying out some command:

FYI the text in your last screenshot is garbled.

Pressing the Ctrl+Space combination have no effect in my case.

It worked after a reboot, thank you!
